Exploring Dynamic Synergies among the SDGs
The SDGs aim to tackle multiple complex challenges. They are implicitly interdependent and, as such, it is possible to have conflicting interactions that produce diverging results. To be effective, the interdependencies among the SDGs should be further evaluated both across and within the SDGs. Similar challenges have emerged with attempts to: align climate change adaptation and mitigation response; alleviate poverty; balance economic development, environmental sustainability; and enable social inclusion for human well-being. This initiative will enable a systematic, data-driven analysis of synergies or trade-offs between all SDGs and SDG indicators and guide the development of future goals.
